Take the steps in the following tutorial to learn to use the basic tools
in the Gimp image editor program. There are many steps and it may seem
daunting at first,
but after a few times of running through this tutorial you will be well
on your way creating custom cards and figuring out your own
graphics tricks and shortcuts.

Install the free open-source Gimp image editor onto your computer,
by going to the Gimp website and
downloading the latest version for your platform (Windows, Linux or Mac).

You will also want to download the following images to your computer...

Click on the "Fill with color or pattern" tool (the 1st button on
the 4th row of tool buttons)

Click any red areas on your figurine which should be non-hit zones to
make them grey

Using the same procedure as before for picking color (from the
"hit_zone_colors.jpg" image), select green

Click on the "Paint hard edged pixels" tool and set your Brush to
Circle (19)

Click once in the center of your figures head to make the eye zone

STEP 14

Copy and paste figurine into your card, then resize and place it.

GimpImage -> Select -> All

GimpImage -> Edit -> Copy

Close your figurine image and switch to your card image

GimpImage -> Edit -> Paste Into

Resize the figurine using the "Scale the layer or selection" tool as you
did before so that it will fit within the borders of the black area on the
right of the card

Drag the figurine into place using the "Move layers & selections"
tool as you did before

GimpImage -> Image -> Flatten Image

GimpImage -> File -> Save As

Name your new custom card appropriately and save

Your finished card should look something like this...

Hints and tips

If you find yourself being unable to use some tool, it is usually
because you are trying to manipulate an area outside the currently selected
layer... to fix this, just do "GimpImage -> Image -> Flatten Image" and try
your tool again

If you still find yourself being unable to use a certain tool, it
sometimes helps to save the image, close it, and re-open it again

With time you will learn to better manipulate images using The Gimp but
there are
numerous resources
on the Internet for using The Gimp if you
find yourself getting stuck

When you print your custom cards, use 4.85 inches (123mm) for the width
setting and 4.58 inches (116mm) for the height setting
